"KRYTOX" LVP Fluorinated Grease 5806PP Revised 5-NOV-1993 Printed 19-NOV-2002 CHEMICAL PRODUCT/COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Material Identification "KRYTOX" is a registered trademark of DuPont. Corporate MSDS Number : DU002667 Company Identification MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise 1007 Market Street Wilmington, DE 19898 PHONE NUMBERS Product Information : 1-800-441-7515 (outside the U.S. 302-774-1000) Transport Emergency : CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300(outside U.S. 703-527-3887) Medical Emergency : 1-800-441-3637 (outside the U.S. 302-774-1000) COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Components Material CAS Number % Perfluoroalkylether 60164-51-4 70 Polytetrafluoroethylene 9002-84-0 30 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION # Potential Health Effects ANIMAL DATA: Perfluoroalkylether: Duniway Part #: KRYTOX-Grease Inhalation 4 hour ALC: Skin absorption ALD: Oral ALD: 19.54 mg/l in rats >17,000 mg/kg in rats >25,000 mg/kg in rats The product contains a mild and a slight eye irritant. Polytetrafluoroethylene is not a skin irritant in animals. A single inhalation exposure to perfluoroalkylether caused nonspecific effects such as respiratory irritation. Toxic effects described in animals exposed to decomposition products of the product formed above 260 degc (500 degf) include lung irritation, irregular respiration, tremors and increased liver weight. Pulmonary edema and death occurred in rats exposed to the decomposition products of perfluoroalkylether formed at around 290 degc (554 degf). A single inhalation exposure to polytetrafluoroethylene caused
irritation of the lungs in animals. Repeated ingestion exposures to polytetrafluoroethylene caused no significant toxicological effects; long-term ingestion exposure caused altered white blood cell counts. HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Skin contact may cause skin irritation with discomfort or rash. Prolonged skin contact may cause redness and inflammation of the hair follicles without skin sensitization. Eye contact may cause eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision. Inhalation of fluorine compounds released as decomposition products at around 290 degc (554 degf) may cause lung irritation and pulmonary edema which require medical treatment. Inhalation of burning material or smoke from cigarettes or tobacco contaminated with this product may cause polymer fume fever. Polymer fume fever is a flu-like illness with fever, chills and sometimes cough, which occurs several hours after exposure and subsides within 24-48 hours even in the absence of treatment. Polymer fume fever does not cause permanent injury and the effects are not cumulative. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen. FIRST AID MEASURES First Aid INHALATION If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. SKIN CONTACT Flush skin with water after contact. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. EYE CONTACT In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. INGESTION If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician. Notes to Physicians
Activated charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare activated charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in 400 ml water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 ml/kg, or 350 ml for an average adult. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Flash Point Method : Does not ignite : PMCC Non-combustible Extinguishing Media As appropriate for combustibles in area. Fire Fighting Instructions Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Decomposition at flame temperatures may form toxic fluorine compounds. Avoid breathing decomposition products. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Safeguards (Personnel) NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with clean-up. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up. Accidental Release Measures Place in container for disposal. Remove source of heat and flame. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling (Personnel) Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this material. Storage Keep container tightly closed. Do not store or consume food, drink or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with this material. Keep away from heat and flames to avoid decomposition products.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat and flames. # Personal Protective Equipment EYE/FACE PROTECTION Wear safety glasses or coverall chemical splash goggles. RESPIRATORS Wear NIOSH approved respiratory protection as appropriate. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Where there is potential for skin contact have available and wear as appropriate, impervious gloves, apron, pants, and jacket. Exposure Guidelines Applicable Exposure Limits Polytetrafluoroethylene PEL (OSHA) TLV (ACGIH) AEL * (DuPont) : None Established : None Established : 10 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, total dust 5 mg/m3, 8 Hr. TWA, respirable dust * AEL is DuPont's Acceptable Exposure Limit. Where governmentally imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL are in effect, such limits shall take precedence. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Physical Data Melting Point : 320 C (608 F) Solubility in Water : Negligible WT% ph : Neutral Odor : Odorless Form : Solid, waxy grease Color : White Specific Gravity : 1.89-1.93 @ 24 deg C (75 deg F) STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical Stability Stable. Incompatibility with Other Materials None reasonably foreseeable.
Polymerization Polymerization will not occur. Other Hazards Decomposition: Heating above 260-290 deg C (500-554 deg F) may form potentially toxic fluorine compounds. Depolymerization may occur in the presence of some metal oxides at temperatures above 288 deg C (550 deg F). Decomposition occurs at increasing rates as temperature is raised above 355 deg C (670 deg F). DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Waste Disposal Treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal must be in accordance with applicable Federal, State/Provincial, and Local regulations. Do not flush to surface water or sanitary sewer system. TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION Shipping Information DOT Proper Shipping Name : Not regulated.
